I'm in Rochester, but it's not my tree. The woman already has someone scheduled to take it down, just hasn't happened yet. I appreciate it though!

It still hasn't been taken down yet because all the tree service companies are so backed up with work from the wind storms we've been having. To make things even more interesting, the pine trees behind it are on another persons land and they said no to using them to help get it down.

That was one of the ideas, but like you said, probably difficult solo. I did a very similar thing on a job with NHLocal.

Seems to be the consensus

Haven't contact Renaissance Acres yet, Weare is pretty far though. I realize its a long shot to find someone willing to try this out but it doesn't hurt to try!

Thanks! I appreciate the lead

Hi, I am looking for a climber in or near southern New Hampshire (03868) to take me on as an apprentice. I have been climbing trees several months on my own property doing some removals and pruning and really want to get into the trade professionally. The only problem is I am only available one...

Hey Butch, my name is Derek. I'm a rec climber wanna-be part time tree worker. Love all the different forums and the wealth of information they provide to someone learning on their own.

Thanks!
